Children's Hospital Association

Gillette’s inpatient rehabilitation program has maintained accreditation by CARF since 1992. Our pediatric brain injury specialty program is also accredited by CARF.

Gillette is one of just three pediatric specialty programs in Minnesota accredited by CARF to meet the needs of young children and adolescents seeking acute inpatient rehabilitation. We are also one of eight health care providers in the country with designations in pediatric inpatient rehabilitation and brain injury.

Gillette prosthetists and orthotists are certified through ABC or are board eligible for certification. Certified practitioners must pass comprehensive written, clinical and simulation exams.

Our electroencephalogram (EEG) services are fully accredited by ABRET—an organization that seeks to encourage, establish and maintain the highest standards of clinical EEG, evoked potential technology, and neurophysiologic intraoperative and long-term monitoring.

The Gillette Children's Sleep Health Clinic was awarded re-accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). The surveyor reported the team performed excellently and noted that we have one of the most well-run sleep labs he has ever reviewed.

AASM is the gold standard by which the medical community and the public evaluate sleep medicine facilities. Achieving the five-year AASM accreditation demonstrates a sleep medicine provider’s commitment to high quality, patient-centered care through adherence to these standards.

Gillette has voluntarily gone through the American College of Radiology (ACR)’s rigorous accreditation process to ensure we meet nationally-accepted standards of care in radiology and imaging. This means our staff and equipment meet or exceed quality and safety guidelines for services such as MRI, CT and ultrasound.

Gillette laboratories are accredited by COLA, an organization that accredits nearly 8,000 medical laboratories and provides the clinical laboratories with education, consultation, and accreditation.

Gillette, in partnership with Regions Hospital, is designated as a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons.  Level I Pediatric Trauma Centers are certified by the American College of Surgeons to provide the highest level of care possible for injured children and teens.
